Memories

Sometimes I wonder how much of our "right now" the boys will remember. The first distinct memories I have are of my kindergarten years. I still remember my teacher, the boy I had a crush on (in kindergarten!!), and who I played with on the playground.

One memory of the 4th grade flashed through my mind this past week. I was sitting in class, and after saying something about my stomach growling so loud, a girl in my class told me not to worry about it because it was impossible for others to hear the sound of someone else's stomach growling........And I believed her for a hot second (a hot second being like, 3 years). I somehow figured out that, um yes, others can hear it...not that it really matters, but come on...it takes a lot of work to try to muffle the growling in a quiet but full room! The deep breaths followed by the sucking in of the stomach, right along with the back arching over the folded arms. Maybe ignorance really is bliss in some situations...

PS. Bright colors for fall get a big yes from me! This yellow sweater will be getting a lot of wear over these next few months.

I remember kindergarten building blocks and nap time ... I also remember being very upset that we didn't get nap time anymore once I started the first grade haha! Oh the memories :) ... I have a yellow scarf I've worn a couple times this Fall and I've gotten many compliments on it. I think yellow is a great power color!

I am DYING, that is hilarious. I love remembering random, and funny moments from our childhoods. You are so stinking gorgeous ma'am, would've LOVED to have edited these this week! You know I'm in LOVE with that yellow sweater!!

I didn't realize until I read you saying you remember your kindergarten crush that I remember mine too. And why did we have crushes in kindergarten?! Ha, that means Charlie will have a small crush in not too long ;) p.s.-- Don't get too excited but I found some booties similar to yours. Phew ;) I'm pretty excited!

I think most of my distinct memories began around kindergarten age too, but it's amazing how snippets of memories come back from before then too when my mom or dad reminds me! Love this bright yellow sweater! It looks so great against the blue skirt!

I remember Kindergarten and that I used to follow a little boy around and sit next to him at every reading period. It's strange the things I remember too, Like, I only remember certain things from when Nick was a baby (he's 10 now!) and the one thing I remember most was how I used to give him a bath in the middle of summer, we would snuggle up in the cool AC and watch Elmo's World. It's quite possibly my favorite memory.

I have vague memories of a family vacation from when I was about 6...besides that not very much. Some people seem to be able to remember much younger than others. My husband likes to tell people he can remember being born and that it was a very unpleasant experience just to freak people out (it's a lie).

oh i love this! this made me think about being in kindergarden and then memories I have! So funny about your stomach growling. i thought that oero's icing was made out of whale fat when a kid told me that!

Hilarious about the stomach growling theory! My earliest memory is from learning how to tie my shoe at my preschool, Mary Poppins, during nap time on those little cots we had to sleep on. I shouted out "I've got it" during nap time and got in trouble!
